It's still amazing to me that the OA existed at all, much less that it ran on Netflix.(If apple tv had existed it woulda gone 5 seasons there)

I have been cursed by a witch

Here’s what happened: I ignored an old beggar woman and she turned out to be a mighty enchantress

Her spell forces me to always talk like I’m on LinkedIn

Here are my main takeaways about being hexed:

Good stuff, and it's correct, the best kind of good stuff.
Today's Load-bearing Tomato addresses the age old question:

"why don't the devs just [SOCIAL MEDIA OPINION]"

It turns out, "a lot of reasons", but if you never have to test your ideas, you never have to discover why they're not any good.

Why chasing twitter's approval doesn't work
The opinions you believe are universal are being fed to you by an algorithm designed to show you what you want.

I saw phantom menace, first showing, at the Chinese theatre. People had been waiting in line for over a month, a friend had extra tickets.

Shame about the movie, but still a cool experience
Have asked this before and always like the responses. What are your biggest “I saw that in the first run cinema” flexes? Couple of mine:

Transformers: The Movie (1986)
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
Office Space (1999)

This is a big part of what a loremaster does. It's not about finding problems it's about finding solutions that get you the story/image/character you want within the confines of the setting. I sometimes call my team the "make it work" team. Sadly no one in Poland knows who Tim Gunn is
I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."

That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

Maybe it's just my specific branch of academia, but paleoartists have it so good, man. Scholars are directly linked with and support artists, even if only through dissemination.

Archaeologists within academia here couldn't care less, it's no wonder mesoamerican representation is stuck in the 50's

Hey that episode of GitS SAC where it's all about the tachikoma that meets the little girl... That was good

That was a good show

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

🇵🇱⚖️I promised a banger on the rule-of-law crisis in Poland, so... here it is. A group of PiS MPs have lodged a case with the Constitutional Tribunal, asking it to find the rules of electing the judges of the same Tribunal, introduced in 2016 by a PiS majority, to be unconstitutional. 1/

1/? Episode 9 is out.

And we've officially reached the half way point in #Cyberpunk2077 No Save Point.

Over 3 Hours of a unique story and characters set in Night City.

So given we are now in the middle I'm going to take some time to talk about the show.
